Obscure MemorabiliaAt home my other half has a broken piece of a piano. Just a single hammer from a broken piano. And yet this twisted bit of wood and metal is a piece from the piano that they flung in the TV series Northern Exposure. We've also got some gardening tools from the first series of Big Brother.
What wierd stuff do you own that has a history?

A friend of mineworks for a cable company, and has a short (6 inch?) length of thick cable, which is part of the cable used to detonate the first ever nuclear test explosion.
It's cross-sectioned to show all the different layers, including one layer made from Zinc (or something similar) to stop termites/other creatures from gnawing through it.
